Vedder-Heronry-Rotary Trai WALKING/HIKING TRAIL LOOP w22

Map Legend:

KML/KMZ files can be opened in Google Earth, and many smartphone apps.

GPX files can be opened by most GPS software apps when KMZ cannot. Note, GPX files do not contain custom colours and icons that we use on our maps; all tracks and icons will appear the same colours and styles. We recommend using KMZ instead when possible.

GPX-Garmin are GPX files that we have optimized for older Garmin units that only display tracks that contain 500 points or less (such as Garmin eTrex units).

Visit our GPS & Navigation page for instructions of how to use your smartphone as a GPS device (even when outside of data coverage) or how to import data to your Garmin unit.

About the Journey:

This fascinating loop takes in a Heron Centre that is a 'must visit' along with its bogs, the Vedder River, and forested trails. The Vedder River is a fishers mecca and in the spring people flock to see the 40 plus pairs of nesting herons, a sight to be seen before the trees sprout their leaves. Before being developped as a greenway and park the Department of National Defence used the area extensively to practice their drills, especially in the bog areas. Allow a good three hours for this visit.
